Funny how no one says to stock up on trucks, gasoline, and guns so that you can go into anywhere and take anything that you want.

I know in the movies those guys don’t fare well.

But in real life they do.

Who’s with me!!!

(I am, of course kidding. Kind of....)

Thanks for the chuckle. Those kind don't really do well in real life, either, as you probably know. And we do have the right to defend ourselves with force when necessary, but there are many wise and peaceful steps to secure one's property in advance (pleasant looking physical obstacles, cameras, dogs, arrangements for visibility, lighting, approaches, communications, etc.).

Our American people are about to become very poor, on average, and probably very gradually. Some of you have seen those conditions in other countries. Become as self-sufficient as possible now in order to avoid living in squalor later.

That sort of reminds me of the old TV series "Jericho" where a man named Jonah took over a small airport with his gang and loaded up on firearms, ammo, fuel and fixed up old 1970's/1980's era cars and trucks. Basically he occasionally helped out Jericho but he and his forces had their own agenda.

Those would be hard-goods and they posses utility. They can actually put a roof over your head and food in your belly. AND, you can trade them for other hard-goods of utility... unlike gold and silver. Have you ever tried to eat gold or silver or kill a deer with it? I wouldn't trade anything I have for gold and silver when the crap hits the fan.
